Editorial Team Insight

We at INSIGHT thought the milestone merger between Prysmian and General Cable deserved a special magazine issue. And this is the magazine you’re reading right now.

As we FOCUS ON the tremendous potential of the combined Group, we asked CEO Valerio Battista to explain what it means for the future in terms of enhanced growth and strengthened global leadership in the cables and systems industry. Valerio stressed that the culture of ‘customer centricity’ is among the main strengths of the two groups, and a deeply shared value. It is a union that brings the Group into the future.

In GLOBAL SCENARIO we explore this unique opportunity of growth, but also the augmented responsibility it carries with it, which is that of providing the cables and systems that distribute power and information across the world at the highest possible level of excellence and advanced technology.

Prysmian Group are known for GETTING THINGS DONE: we are at the forefront of growth and innovation in the supply of cables and systems, DOING BUSINESS with the energy and telecom companies that provide power and information to communities and economies.

After the merger with General Cable, we created a new structure for growth that allows people to work as one team right from the start. It takes great PEOPLE to make a great company, and we regard people as our most valuable asset. We therefore decided to give voice directly to some of the most brilliant and skilled individuals from both companies.

In the QUARTERLY OVERVIEW session, we reported that Prysmian Group returned to revenue growth in the first quarter of 2018 as organic sales grew by +3.1% with a strong boost from High Voltage Underground and Industrial, accompanied by solid growth in optical cables and positive trend in Trade & Installers.
